The Froggy Green Decision<br />
I had been living in the apartment only a month, when<br />
one morning while Johnny was there I decided to paint the<br />
bathroom. Only I couldn't decide what color to paint it.<br />
"What about green?" he said, looking critically at the<br />
pale-yellowish walls. "A kind of nice, froggy green," he<br />
muttered meditatively.<br />
"Froggy green? Wouldn't that be a little too much green<br />
in the apartment? I've already decorated the living room in<br />
green."<br />
"It's the only thing," he said, "that will go with those<br />
blue tiles." He was shaving at the time, and he shook his<br />
head, peered into the mirror, gave a final flick of his razor<br />
and wiped off the foam.<br />
"Maybe a lighter color would look better," I suggested.<br />
"How about a light lavender?"<br />
"Lavender! And I suppose you'll want little china poodles<br />
on the dressing table too." He squinted into the mirror<br />
again, rubbed away an imaginary speck and turned to me.<br />
"A froggy green will be perfect," he concluded.<br />
I took out the garbage and padded down the hall to the<br />
mailboxes, making my usual predictions along the way.<br />
"There probably won't be anything today," I warned myself.<br />
"After all, there were two letters yesterday and one the<br />
day before, so you can't really expect anything today."<br />
Although, why I bothered with such preliminaries I<br />
don't know, because I always feel disappointed if the box is<br />
empty. Even before I opened the box I could tell there was<br />
something. I opened the box and took out tw'o letters. I<br />
recognized the handwriting at once; so quickly, so surely,<br />
that I did not even have time to be surprised. No longer<br />
something hoped for, waited for, dreamed about- but a<br />
real, tangible fact in my hand. My hand was not even<br />
trembling- as I thought it would be at a time like this. I<br />
opened the door of my apartment. My purse was on the<br />
television set, and I slipped the larger letter into it. I dropped<br />
the other letter, half read, on the kitchen table and<br />
turned on the radio.<br />
"It is eight thirty and here are the headlines," came a<br />
woman's cheery voice.<br />
"Would you like some eggs or something?" I asked<br />
Johnny. He was scanning yesterday's newspaper and eating<br />
an avocado. He said no and continued to read the paper.<br />
He got up and headed for the door, and I followed him.<br />
"Have a nice day honey," he said. "And don't forget to<br />
buy the paint for the bathroom."<br />

I went into the bathroom to wash my face and get<br />
dressed. I came out and took the letter out of my purse. My<br />
actions were slow and deliberate. There was no hurry. I had<br />
waited a long time for this letter and another five minutes<br />
would make no difference.<br />
I poured myself a cup of tea, sipped it, then took the<br />
letter and looked at it. My name was scrawled carelessly by<br />
a hand that had, I remembered, a scar on one knuckle. The<br />
paper inside was the same wrapping paper brown edged<br />
with two black, thin lines. Most of my friends wrote to me<br />
on ordinary typing paper, notebook paper, or plain white<br />
air-mail stationery. It took me about ten seconds to read the<br />
letter. When I had finished I put the letter down and let it sit<br />
a moment, then I picked it up and read it again. When I<br />
finished, I replaced the letter in my purse. I was planning to<br />
take some pictures today, but I looked out the window and<br />
saw that it was starting to rain. So, I decided to go out and<br />
buy the paint for the bathroom.<br />
After I returned to the apartment, I decided to surprise<br />
Johnny and get started on the bathroom right away. It was<br />
very relaxing to paint huge strokes of green onto the wall,<br />
and I almost forgot about the letter.<br />
At about six, Johnny came breezing in the door.<br />
"Hey honey, where are you? Did you buy the paint for<br />
the bathroom?"<br />
He came into the bathroom. "It looks good," he said.<br />
I had finished half a wall and was tired. I stopped<br />
painting, sat on the floor, and looked up at Johnny.<br />
"I'll do some now," he offered. "You must be tired. It's<br />
going to look just great."<br />
I didn't get my cam.era out at all the next day; instead, I<br />
spent the day in the bathroom painting the walls green. I<br />
decided to make my bathroom into a jungle. I would decorate<br />
the bathroom to create the illusion of being outside, of<br />
taking a bath in the middle of a forest. I would hang plants<br />
from the ceiling and the walls. And maybe I would paint a<br />
tree in the corner.<br />
That afternoon found me perched on a pile of newspapers<br />
on top of a chair painting a high corner. Two long pipes<br />
stretched from ceiling to floor, and I dipped my brush into<br />
the green paint and drew a long, trailing vine- first down<br />
one, and then the other. On a wall I hadn't painted yet, I<br />
started to draw huge rubber plants, palm trees, a tiger<br />
stalking through yellow leaves, monkeys swinging from<br />
branches and bright-plumed birds in trees.
When he saw it that night, Johnny smiled broadly and<br />
kissed my forehead .<br />
Each morning after he left, I would look in my purse to<br />
see if perhaps that brown letter had vanished, had not<br />
actually been real at all but an imagined letter. It was<br />
always there.<br />
On the appointed morning, I woke up feeling very<br />
peculiar, and went to look at the calendar just to be sure I<br />
wasn't a day ahead. No, it was today. The Holiday Hotel at 3<br />
p.m. I had waited three years for this day, and had imagined<br />
it countless times. I had always felt a little clumsy<br />
with him, a little out-of-date. He, on the other hand, had<br />
always been impeccably sophisticated, even as a student,<br />
even when he had no money. I would show him this time<br />
that I had changed; that I had acquired style. I ironed a skirt,<br />
took out a tight-fitting, low-cut top, and a scarf that<br />
matched. I would show him now that I was just as sophisticated<br />
as he was. It was eleven; I still had time to finish the<br />
bathroom and take my bath before going. I knew I had to get<br />
the bathroom finished today or Johnny would be disappointed<br />
when he came home.<br />
The day before I had begun a scene of monkeys, an<br />
orange tree, and a white flower with a huge stalk. I finished<br />
the monkeys, and added a snake curled around a branch,<br />
looking down on a small field mouse. I then started painting<br />
flowers on the bathtub. There was only one more wall<br />
left to paint, yet I kept on painting anything except that<br />
wall.<br />
I finally could find nothing else to paint and started on<br />
my last wall. I began to worry that I wouldn't have time to
complete the wall, and I painted more rapidly. It was already<br />
two o'clock and I still had paint on my fac;:e and hair.<br />
At a quarter to three I knew it was no use. I wanted to go, but<br />
I couldn't make myself quit painting and disappoint<br />
Johnny. I simply had to finish the bathroom tonight, for he<br />
would be coming home all excited to see it.<br />
I was through at five. I removed the old newspapers<br />
from the floor, cleaned the brushes, put away the paint,<br />
mopped the floor, arranged the plants, hung the towels, put<br />
out new soap and filled the tub. I was going to take a long,<br />
hot, relaxing bath.<br />
An Ode to a Mole<br />
It was wonderful. I closed my eyes and leaned back. It<br />
really was like taking a bath in a forest. Everything was<br />
green and peaceful. I wondered if I should send a letter<br />
explaining: But how could I explain that it was because I<br />
had been painting a bathroom?<br />
I was still in the tub when I heard the key turn in the<br />
lock. "A forest nymph at her bath," he said, bending down<br />
to kiss me.<br />
"You see?" he said. "Froggy green is perfect."<br />
"Yes," I said. "I did make the right decision."<br />
I found you -, one hot September day -<br />
Brown, soft fur, a pink snout, and pointy pads;<br />
-A lifeless heap -on a grassy mound, you Jo,y<br />
A dull blot of red, showed tooth marks -<br />
which terminated your earth stay<br />
So I picked you up on some big leaves<br />
And carried your small bier away.<br />
Dark, underground tunnels were your only abode<br />
-And you seldom saw the light of day!<br />
But now, through some mysterious synthesis -<br />
You became an invisible creature- a light ray!<br />

Our car passed noisily through the stone gates and up<br />
the rocky drive. I dodged a rooster, some chickens and baby<br />
chicks, all screaming wildy, as were the four children in<br />
the tiny Ford. The rectory at Wyke Rissington was not<br />
typical of houses I had seen in the Cotswolds. The grass<br />
sneaked over its boundary onto the drive, the flower beds<br />
were unattended with only a few flowers surviving the<br />
weeds, and the shrubs and hedges grew wildly in all directions.<br />
A faded sign at the edge of the drive had the following<br />
inscription: The Rev. Thomas M. Palmer, Priest,<br />
Church of England.<br />
The imposing stone house was also neglected. A large<br />
stairway landing window was open; it was set in the middle<br />
of the house both horizontally and vertically. Framed in<br />
the window was a large black dog, barking a warning, just<br />
as a bell tolls danger. There was no need to knock at the<br />
door; our presence had been announced.<br />
The door was opened by an aproned lady; she seemed<br />
small and aged, but not by years.<br />
"Yes?" Her voice was cold and unwelcoming. I felt like<br />
a trespasser, and wanted to flee.<br />
My companion, Nanette, spoke softly and courteously,<br />
introducing us, and explaining that we were living for a<br />
while in Icomb, and hoped to see the Maze.<br />
"You will have to pay, you know. Four pounds for<br />
children under twelve and ten pounds for all others." She<br />
talked loudly with a high tight voice. She glared at the<br />
children; her eyes were full of suspicion. •<br />
"Children must be accompanied by adults, and absolutely<br />
no running!"<br />
She must have repeated these rules many times, as her<br />
voice and her countenance seemed bored, yet resigned to<br />
the task.<br />
"Could you tell us something about the Maze? Why was<br />
it created?" I asked carefully and quietly. I never missed an<br />
opportunity to attempt to dispel the ugly American image,<br />
and the Maze keeper was a challenging subject.<br />
Could I bave succeeded so readily! A slight softness<br />
came into her eyes and her pinched face almost smiled.<br />
"You are Americans!" she said, surprising herself with<br />
such exuberance. "Few Americans ever come to Wyke<br />

The Maze<br />

<strong>NAIAD</strong> Literary Contest<br />
Rissington, however, an American Colonel from the Bar·<br />
racks married Jane Pryce during the war and they stayed on<br />
until about four years ago. I think they live near Boston,<br />
now."<br />
She introduced herself as Mrs. Palmer. She seemed<br />
intrigued with us and wanted to collect information as if to<br />
store it. She plied us with questions: Why had we come to<br />
Gloucester? Whose house were we in? Where were we<br />
from? How did we hear of the Maze? What did we do?<br />
Intermittently she carefully revealed pieces of herself,<br />
and her life. Her daughter, Elizabeth, was grown now and<br />
married to an innkeeper in Burford. She recommended we<br />
go for lunch, as the hotel had quite a nice dining room.<br />
When I mentioned we were on holiday, she related a<br />
story about a holiday she and her daughter had taken. I will<br />
never forget the excitement in her voice, nor the pathos in<br />
my heart as I listened. It was summer recess at her daugh·<br />
ter's school. A holiday away was impossible as there was<br />
no money for such a frivolity. However, she determined<br />
that her daughter should have, somehow, a memory of this<br />
time. Elizabeth and Mrs. Palmer had examined very care·<br />
fully what they could do with two pounds. There were few<br />
choices. They decided to spend a day in Bourton. A lovely<br />
town, visited by both British and foreign tourists. It was,<br />
however, only nine miles from Wyke Rissington. I im·<br />
agined the excitement she and Elizabeth felt as they dres·<br />
sed for the outing. Mrs. Palmer explained that once on the<br />
bus, they agreed to pretend to be tourists traveling a great<br />
distance to spend a day in Bourton. Mrs. Palmer had<br />
packed a delectable, though economic, lunch: bread, but·<br />
ter, cheese, pickles, even chutney and two slices of tomato.<br />
Tea was to be accompanied by cress sandwiches and butter<br />
biscuits. As she told of her day in Bourton she encouraged<br />
us to visit each attraction she and Elizabeth had enjoyed.<br />
She reported her adventure with such vivid detail, it could<br />
have been yesterday. It was a warm happy memory for her,<br />
and she seemed to wish we could have a similar experience<br />
when we went to Bourton. Of course, we could never dup·<br />
licate her adventure, and we both knew it.<br />
We were silent, then. It seemed a sad moment.
The children were past being ready to see the Maze. We<br />
deposited our coins in the box and, as we entered the Maze,<br />
Mrs. Palmer again cautioned, "No running!" Her tight<br />
voice was almost screeching, but without the edge we had<br />
first noticed.<br />
The Maze was disappointing to us adults. It was<br />
scraggly, like a long haired dog with severe mange. Great<br />
bare patches of wire lay exposed, vines hung into the path,<br />
and hedges grew wildly. Huge trees towered above the<br />
Maze allowing little light to penetrate its depths; it was<br />
cold. The children, of course, ran excitedly to the first dead<br />
end, as we adults followed blindly. We formed a huddle in<br />
our effort to turn around. It was then that we noticed the<br />
first sign: "It has been reported that the extravagant and the<br />
foolhardy have lost their way, and wandered without<br />
hope. " The children ran ahead, discovering another dead<br />
end, and yet another sign: "It is saict'the path will not end<br />
for the idle and the selfish." The oldest child was now in<br />
the lead; I heard her reading another sign: "A black dog has<br />
been known to appear on the path and show hostility to<br />
those who run and fool about." She laughed, reminding us<br />
of the dog in the window.<br />
As we explored the Maze we were inundated with<br />
weathered signs - threatening, controlling, warning<br />
signs. They were unrelenting.<br />
After many dead ends, retracing steps, reading signs,<br />
much bumping and giggling, we emerged into the sunlight,<br />
and confronted our last sign: "The faithful shall<br />
emerge refreshed. Follow the path to salvation." It was<br />
signed , "Bishop Priestly."<br />
I did not see Mrs. Palmer again at the Maze, but I<br />
thought of her often, picturing her daily routine, imagining<br />
her Sundays, her relationship with her daughter, and her<br />
husband . When I mentioned Mrs. Palmer to my friend,<br />
Vanda, an omniscient resident oflcomb, she explained that<br />
Reverend Palmer was a rather famous exorcist in the county,<br />
and was often invited to distant places to exorcise evil<br />
spirits. It seemed appropriate that Reverend Palmer's speciality<br />
would be exorcism. I was certain now that Mrs.<br />
Palmer believed in the message of the Maze, and lived<br />
according to its dictates. Perhaps her husband and the large<br />
black dog were her guardians along the path of life.<br />
Late one afternoon, months after the Maze adventure, I<br />
was waiting for the bus in Morton. I heard a high voice next<br />
to me ask, "And, has your holiday been pleasant? Dreadful<br />
weather!" Startled, I turned quickly and saw Mrs. Palmer,<br />
her tight face smiling. We chatted briefly about the<br />
weather, my experiences in Bourton, and her day in Morton.<br />
She had just settled her husband's sister back in her<br />
home after a long hospital stay. It had not been a good day<br />
for her to come to Morton, but when the hospital called to<br />
say Reverend Palmer's sister was being released at noon,<br />
she knew she must gather some food and come to assist.<br />
As we boarded the bus she spied an acquaintance and<br />
took the empty aisle seat beside her. Planning to eavesdrop<br />
on her, I chose a seat one row behind and to the right.<br />
"Yes, I am feeling very tired," she was saying as the bus<br />
door closed and we pulled onto the highway.<br />
"And tonight I must attend a meeting my husband is<br />
conducting in Stow. Reverend Palmer is very busy. He<br />
could not come, today." Mrs. Palmer then explained in<br />
detail her long day in Morton, and her sister-in-law's terminal<br />
illness.<br />
And what about Mrs. Palmer's terminal illness? I questioned<br />
myself. Was her illness denial of a life for herself?<br />
Would shed ie of doing for others? Did she arrest her illness<br />
with the soothing benefits of escape, either on a holiday to<br />
Bourton, or as she had done vicariously with us?<br />
I silently hoped that she would sit with her daughter<br />
over tea one afternoon and relate her story of meeting two<br />
American women with four wild unkempt children, traveling<br />
around the countryside, running and fooling about,<br />
with no thoughts of a large black dog.<br />

1 once was a beautiful, huge oak tree<br />
With branches that rose close to Heaven; and free,<br />
To sway to and fro with the wind or a breeze,<br />
A majestic sight for all to see.<br />
My roots grew over a mass of the earth<br />
So I prided myself because of my girth.<br />
But one day a storm struck and lightning went<br />
through me,<br />
They sawed off my beauty, a stump made of me.<br />
Many and many a year went by, I was covered with<br />
weeds, debris and vines.<br />
I grew wrinkled and dirty and not proud to be,<br />
a useless and ugly monstrosity.<br />
But one day this weight was lifted from me<br />
Alas this old stump is a beauty to see<br />
A bright, yellow container was set upon me, with<br />
beautiful flowers and vines,<br />
Trailing down through my wrinkles, on their<br />
way to the earth.<br />
Now!! I am washed by the rain and dried by<br />
the sun<br />
So give thanks to my Maker for the work He has done.<br />

The Fern<br />
The free-Jiving fern lives peacefully<br />
in your world Lord.<br />
Like your spirit, it grows not in one<br />
place, but spreads.<br />
The evergreen can be found by a gentle<br />
mountain stream,<br />
Or perhaps may be seen covering an entire<br />
Mountain side with its lush color.<br />
The environment in which it buds may<br />
ever be deserted farmland or among<br />
the slums of a big city.<br />
The fern always runs the risk of being<br />
tramped upon,<br />
Yet when that happens, it sprints back<br />
to life, stronger than before.<br />
Its many petals show you reaching out<br />
and searching for life,<br />
While the plant's determined roots<br />
obtain a solid foundation.<br />
The greenness of the fern shows the<br />
life of your spirit in the world.<br />
Lord, the fern, like your love,<br />
springs eternal.<br />

Streams and Dreams<br />
By ROBERT DAVIS<br />
Streams and dreams<br />
and Queen Ann's lace,<br />
dappled memories of<br />
a long lost place;<br />
Where I once played,<br />
and I once roamed,<br />
in the mountains and<br />
valleys of my home;<br />
But no longer do I<br />
know those days,<br />
the days of homespun<br />
beauty and pleasure;<br />
The days when life's<br />
troubles were such<br />
a small measure;<br />
The days when sunrise<br />
and sunset,<br />
seemed to bleed<br />
together;<br />
Ah, and I'll always say<br />
that someday I'll return,<br />
but knowing h ow days<br />
lead on to days,<br />
I doubt that someday,<br />
will ever come.

Honorable Mention<br />
I can feel birth in all things around me, and even within<br />
myself I feel strange sensations of a new beginning. A new<br />
life that is no longer an atrophy of past regressions. A new<br />
life that is no longer apathetic to my surroundings.<br />
I feel deep within me new things that have never been<br />
before . . . sensations of wonderful beauty to come! As<br />
ephemeral as I am, I can now reach out beyond time and<br />
grasp what has never been.<br />
Inside I grow with sensations of what I cannot understand,<br />
of what I've never felt before. The emotions well up<br />
inside me. I feel these things, and I love them as I have<br />
never loved, and I cry from happiness that was once lost .. .<br />
wondering what life will be this time.<br />
A shape appears within me bringing nourishment from<br />
the tears I shed upon my soul. I feel my heart beating,<br />
pumping the quintessence of life through my being as love<br />
courses through my veins for the one entity I exist for. My<br />
pulse hums with the beat of a thousand drums as I live in<br />
empathy with all there is. My very fibers ache as I reach to<br />
become one within myself, groping for understanding beyond<br />
me. My lungs breathe as an earthen bellows, feeling<br />
the freshness of the air, tasting its sweetness as it flows<br />
within, bringing more life for me to hold ...<br />
Hold it I will! Tightly dearly, cherishing every moment<br />
I feel great within me . . . remembering when I touched,<br />
and was bruised in my tenderness.<br />
I see through my eyes as through the eyes of an inquisitive<br />
child seeing the wonders of heaven in a single day.<br />
Seeing the stars cascade through the darkness; the glimmerings<br />
of morning dew; the rising sun, a fiery ball of flame<br />
at which I can only marvel. Watching it glow and pulse<br />
through the blueness of the sky as life ebbs from me . ..<br />
feeding it energy from my own meager stores.<br />
I gaze out upon my small world and ponder its mysteries,<br />
hoping to see its intrinsic life extend my own. But I<br />
can only watch as I see the stars traipse across the heavens<br />
and the sun dance. I see the moon waltz and rainbows<br />
twinkle; the life giving rain and the wind ...<br />
Oh! The marvelous wind- caressing my face in gentle<br />
brushes, touching softly- to feel me quiver with exquisite<br />
joy! Enfolding me, surrounding me. Spreading wings to<br />
carry me afar. I soar upon the winds breathe above the<br />
clouds, smelling her sweetness, knowing her gentle touch<br />
comforting me in the shortness of life. The wind carries me<br />
above the world and I willingly go , hoping for one more<br />
day - always hoping.<br />
In sadness I watch the sky change spectrum to reds and<br />
golds as the sun recedes beyond horizons unknown. In<br />
sadness, because I know that soon it will be time for my life<br />
to end. In sadness, for I will be without the wind, without<br />
her gentle touch holding me nearer to eternal life. No<br />
longer will I feel her enfolding arms embrace me, or the<br />
softness of her caress.<br />
Pain! But there is no pain ... only an emptiness of life<br />
where there should be fulfillment, a vast loneliness surrounding<br />
what was once happiness. Empty, lonely .. . so<br />
very alone.<br />
I withdraw into myself with nowhere within me to go.<br />
Yes , there is pain. An unfelt pain gripping my heart and<br />
twisting my soul.<br />
Scream! Screaming! I don't want it to end! It can't end<br />
now! Oh, please stop me from crying, please-<br />
"But there are no tears," whispers the wind.<br />
"The tears are inside .. . spread my wings - carry me<br />
with you!"<br />
"I cannot," murmurs the wind.<br />
"Please stop me from crying ... "<br />
The tears fill the emptiness, washing life away from me<br />
while my heart cries out in loneliness, but no one hears- I<br />
am drowning in my own tears.<br />
The wind continues on, forever whispering in the echoing<br />
silence . . . breathing her womansong through the silent<br />
trees. Gently, she reaches down to touch me, and her<br />
tenderness brings joy as she bears my soul afar.<br />

Of the past<br />
Intently seeming<br />
As dreams that never were.<br />
Forms memories of you and I<br />
And thoughts about your leaving.<br />
Remembrance stirs.<br />
Within the depths<br />
Of a heart standing still.<br />
Love rests for awhile.<br />
Silent as though<br />
It's been fulfilled<br />
Instead of denied.<br />
As light as the wind<br />
Of warm summer nights,<br />
The laughter and love of youth.<br />
But how deep is the wind?<br />
Perhaps too light,<br />
Unlike the essence of truth.<br />
Which states that love is blind.<br />
Blind even to itself.<br />
Too late to say it could have been.<br />

The Dawn<br />
Misty is<br />
the dawn and<br />
her hair is spun<br />
of golden thread;<br />
She is clothed in<br />
the dew of morning,<br />
with many colored<br />
ribbons in her hair;<br />
As her fingers<br />
touch the forest<br />
and the meadow alike,<br />
she brings what<br />
all men long for;<br />
And her beauty ....,.<br />
lingers with the last<br />
rays of the sun;<br />
Misty is the dawn.<br />

Miracle of Life<br />
By MARY ANN LUCIK<br />
Honorable Mention<br />
Tiny hands and tiny feet<br />
A body of perfection;<br />
Put together, just for us,<br />
A bundle of affection.<br />
One soft cry, a little smile,<br />
The first sound of your laughter;<br />
Makes everything so perfect,<br />
Who cares what may come after.<br />
A tiny seed, you grew within,<br />
A product of our love.<br />
And now you're here for us to hold,<br />
You're all we're thinking of.<br />
Thank you God for giving us,<br />
This tiny little blessing.<br />
It's all we need to be complete<br />
Now there is nothing missing.<br />

By GRANT CARTER
My Castle<br />
There on the silver sands of the ocean's edge<br />
Was the most magnificent castle I have ever seen.<br />
It was heavenly,<br />
And yet its beauty was from the earth.<br />
It was stoic,<br />
And yet it revealed hidden frailities.<br />
It was strong,<br />
And yet it was vulnerable.<br />
It was unblemished,<br />
And yet I could see the scars . .<br />
It was extremely intricate, "'""<br />
And yet traces of simplicity could be felt.<br />
A castle this unique I have never seen.<br />
After years of searching the shores of the seas.<br />
I had at last found my castle.<br />
I thanked God for the sands,<br />
From which its beauty was born.<br />
I thanked God for the seas,<br />
Which had brought me to its shore.<br />
I thanked God for the happiness,<br />
Which at last was mine.<br />
No sooner had tears of joy cleared from my eyes,<br />
When those once gentle waves turned vicious,<br />
And came crashing down upon the shore.<br />
Then with the blink of an eye, it was gone.<br />
The waves had washed my castle away;<br />
Completely Away.<br />

Changes<br />
We are swept up in th em<br />
We are never ready for th em<br />
We can never outgrow them<br />
And we can seldom deal with them.<br />
But they step into our lives<br />
Jabbing us, as sharpened knives<br />
One wears out his welcome, another moves in<br />
Unexpectedly. Changes never end ...<br />
By CAROLYN CLARK<br />
Nature's Harmony<br />
High reaching, spirit movement<br />
The eagle knows no time<br />
The gifted one, faultless movement<br />
Soaring high above trouble laden waters<br />
The eagle moves<br />
Dream maker, perfect one<br />
Living free<br />
Sun in hand, life at grasp<br />
Reaching forward to be all<br />
The eagle moves<br />
